UPSC postpones civil services exam

The UPSC said in a note issued today that, the civil services examination, 2016 (and the Indian Forest Service (Preliminary) examination, 2016), scheduled to be notified on April 23, 2016, will be notified later

The civil services examination is conducted by the UPSC annually in three stages, preliminary, main and interview to select candidates for prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS), among others.

An expert committee, under the chairmanship of former Human Resource Development Secretary and retired IAS officer B S Baswan, constituted by the government is examining various issues related to age relaxation, eligibility, syllabus and pattern of civil services examination.
